This webinar will describe challenges related to in-line and at-line measurements in continuous systems and measurements made in automated systems.

In celebration of National Nanotechnology Day and National Chemistry Week, three scientific organizations held a joint image contest. The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on behalf of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), along with the NSF-funded UC San Diego Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (UCSD MRSEC) and the American Chemical Society (ACS), gave people the opportunity to explore and showcase the beauty of the nanoscale and to learn the value of working at fundamental length scales.

Since its inception, the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) has emphasized the importance of responsible development, and social scientists have played important roles in the interdisciplinary research that supports fundamental and applied research in nanotechnology. Following this tradition, the NNI and the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) convened a workshop to bring together federal experts in nanotechnology with social scientists with expertise on specific tools and frameworks relevant to the responsible development of emerging technologies. The agenda included a presentation about the recently released “Blueprint for the Use of Social and Behavioral Science to Advance Evidence-Based Policymaking,” introductions to key nanotechnology case studies by federal experts, and flash talks by social scientists. The meeting promoted brainstorming new intersections between social science and nanotechnology R&D with the goals of i) integrating social science into future visions of interdisciplinary research, development, and training, and ii) reinvigorating networks that connect the NNI to the social science community.
